WILSOJTATTACK
Show Increase in Number of
Cases Decided Since
Former Member Left
Commission.
Lincoln,' Neb., Jan. 24. (Spe
cil.) The State Railroad commis
sion Saturday held a hearing on
former Commissioner Vic Wilson's
motion recently filed, asking that
the hoard adopt a set of rules- for
speedy hearing and determination
of matters presented to " it. Mr.
Wilson was present to urge action
alnnor thio line.
uhfr nf the commission mav
not deny the charges made by Mr.
Wilson that the nresent board is
behind in its work, but the commis
sioners do not know how they are
going to better thincs. Wilson's
pert help is not practicable., the
present members say, because the
commission is already running be
hind on the appropriation which the
legislature made for its use in that
regard.
At Saturday's hearing, Commis
sioner Thome Browne produced
figures which showed that since the
latter left the commission October
1, it has been deciding cases at
the rates of 2.6 per week, as against
only 1.3 cases per week' for the
period of two years and nine
months during which he was a
member. He also showed that since
Wilson resigned there have been
59 hearings in IS weeks, or almost
four hearings per week.
Mr. Wilson admitted that there
had been an improvement recently,
but it has not been enough, he de
clared, to keep the commission from
falling farther apd farther behind
in its work. He suggested that more
employes be secured, and that part
of the work of preparing tentative
findings and orders, to be relieved
and adopted by the commission as
its own opinions, be done by them.
It was brought out that since
U. G. Powell resigned as chief ac
countant another man, Mr. Ross,
has been doing a portion of the
rate experfi work and drawing
$175 ner month salary. As Powell
got $250 a month, the balance re
verts back to the state treasury.
Mr. Wilson now represents a
number of public utility corpora
tions seeking rate increase and he
is anxious to have their applica
tions heard and passed upon as soon
as possible. He claims the com
panies are losing money as things
nowi stand, and it is much to be de
sired that the commission shall
speed up its machinery so as to
give them relief.

Chased Coyote With Car
And Killed It With Crank
Grand Island Neb., Jan. 24.

famed speed, to the test against a
four-cylinder car driven by Art
Nielsen came to an untimely end in
the sand hills near Danneborg. Mr.
Nielsen was driving to Grand Isl
and when the coyote trotted out
from behind a fence post, took a
position in the path of the car and
tried to beat it to the next mile post.
Art stepped on 'er hard. While Mr.
Coyote possibly was laughing to
himself over what he expected the
driver was saying in the way of ex
cuses for his car something hit him
a slam and sent him whirling into
the sand bank .at the side of the
highway. It was a front wheel of
the car that did the bumping. Art
stopped the car and threw a wrench
at the animal. 1 This shot missed the
target. Then Art tried the crank
and did better. Art is planning to
make a rug out of the hide.
